I know what the intended rules should be, but is there any chance of getting clarification on the “punch a dying character to heal them” problem?

The last point under Getting Knocked Out (pg 295).
- If the attack was nonlethal, you do not gain the dying condition or increase your dying condition and you return to 1 Hit Point (though you remain unconscious).

Then the first sentence under Taking Damage While Unconscious (pg 295)
If you take damage while already unconscious, apply the same effects as if you had been knocked out by that damage.

If you are at Dying 1, 2, or 3 and are punched by nonlethal damage you apply the effect as if you were knocked unconscious by that nonlethal damage (as per Taking Damage While Unconscious). That nonlethal damage does not increase your Dying condition and returns you to 1 Hit Point but Unconscious (as per Getting Knocked Out).

Aram Zey. Personally I miss their guy handing out our assignments, especially regarding the Tapestry. I know he’s retired as Master of Spells, but I’m willing to bet that, given enough support from Pathfinders (especially the Seekers who remember him), Aram could be given a new position. Master of Tapestries sounds good. After all, none have studied the Hao Jin Tapestry more than him.

I’ve been doing some searching and it seems that the newest Adventure Path to be sanctioned is Hell’s Rebels. All the way back in September of 2016, about a year and a half ago.

Has there been any word when we will be seeing Strange Aeons (not expecting Hell’s Vengeance) or any others sanctioned?

Wizard with the Possessed Hand, Hands Autonomy, and Hands Detachment feats. Then take your own hand as a familiar. Finally take the Evolved Familiar feat as much as you can.

I love the Scarab Sages mission briefing. The Diamond Sage has always seemed so serious in other scenarios, this paints her in a new light for me.

The reveal at trend of that same mission made me audibly gasp... I never gasp.

Canny Tumble

Your acrobatic prowess distracts your foes.

Prerequisite(s): Dodge, Mobility, Acrobatics 5 ranks.

Benefit: When you use Acrobatics to move through an opponent’s threatened area or space without provoking an attack of opportunity from that opponent, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on your next melee attack roll against that opponent and that opponent is denied its Dexterity bonus to AC, as long as you make that attack before the start of your next turn.

I find many people just look over the Feat name and assume it deals with the Uncanny Dodge ability. I've been using it to great effect with a Slayer (Vanguard Archtype). In reality it's good with any character that can deal Sneak Attack damage.

Devils are almost always Lawful (especially Contract Devils). So as long as the contract was signed within the confines of the law of the country/ plane where the signing takes place then it should be valid.

That's just my take on it though.

The stigma associated with Paladins (especially from 1st edition and 2nd edition) seems to be a large part of it. Though many players fail to see that the alignments have some wiggle room.

I find that, for the most part, Paizo has deviated somewhat from the traditional (ie: old) way of viewing alignments. This was really driven home when U started reading theTales novels. Hellknight is a great example, it includes a discussions on alignment between characters who are Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral and Lawful Evil who must work together bound by their "lawfulness". I recommend reading this book for this reason alone.

If they would update the Additional Resources document we could stop speculating about what changes are happening and get on with the process of making changes to characters or making new ones.

I think Unchained did a fair job of fixing the Rogue. They just need to deal with the crapy Talents.
In the mean time try the Slayer with the Vanguard Archtype.
